 +==== Scope ====
 +It is much better for students to limit the scope of their project and ensure that they complete it to a high standard - quality over quantity! If you have to rush to finish your project and your code is full of hacks and not tested then it is likely that this will eventually have to be re-written. For this reason we encourage students to implement all the functionality of their project by the mid-term evaluation, leaving the second half of GSoC to polish, test, optimize, test, refactor, test, document and test their code.

 Use this [[http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/BluePrint/Guidelines/Template|BluePrint Template]] to prepare a blueprint for your project. Blueprints should be added as pages on the appropriate Sahana wiki. Students are encouraged to collaborate together on BluePrints, and incorporate input frm the community. The wiki will track contributions to ensure that these are attributed to the correct student. However students are also free to create their own BluePrint. Use this [[http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/BluePrint/Guidelines/Template|BluePrint Template]] to prepare a blueprint for your project.
